Vision:

Celestia’s vision is one of great magnitude. Just like our logo set against the starlit sky, our future is bright. New stars will be born and begin their shining legacy. Faded stars will glow once again. Others will discover that they are stars awaiting a home in which to shine.

-Celestia will be that home: an expansive, state-of-the-art facility with a Welcome mat that invites the audience to relax while enjoying the sights and sounds of local artists.
-Celestia will be that home: a haven for artistic expression where individual stars shine and groups of stars form a galaxy.
-Celestia will be that home: a sanctuary where local businesses can entertain their clients and staff.
-Celestia will be that home: a safe harbor where parents can entrust their children for the development of artistic talents and the experiences of artistic expression.
-Celestia will be that home: a refuge where all generations come together for wholesome entertainment in a family atmosphere.

When you look through the telescope at the Celestia sky, you will see a home where mentoring, nurturing, and collaboration are centered. You will see amateur performers with a professional approach; talented professionals mentoring amateurs; a family of performers nurturing each other; and, collaboration with the community.

Celestia will be recognized throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania as a leader in its endeavors. We encourage you to “gaze” at the Celestia vision. Be a star. Help a star. Teach a star. Support a star.

Come home to Celestia and watch this vision become a reality in your community.
